:) oh I like this idea I think u might n on to something :)

Haha just read ur comment about doing squats in the loo haha. How many did u manage. Maybe you should start a thread n see how many people take it up :) x

Maybe you could try n use the gym as a rest from your studying. Maybe have a session n then a nice relaxing swim after n if u have sauna n steam facilities use then to unwind. Rather than felling like the gym is a chore if u get what I mean. I remember being at uni, I had a young child too so...

I don't particularly struggle with my meals I don't think but rather if I'm pottering about at home I have a tendency to nibble on what's lying about. Or if I'm out grabbing an unhealthy snack. Also I'm going to the Trafford centre tomorrow after work. We will b there at tea time. What do I...

Try and eat more protein it should keep you fuller for longer. I find pasta is very high in cals for the portion I want to eat. I also bulk my meals out with veg n salad. Cauliflower is mega low in cals n a great substitute for calorific potatoes. Also I find planning my day in advance helps to...

Just wondering how you girls survive the weekend. It all just seems to go to pot for me. Any tips or suggestions to keep my fat arse on the straight n narrow would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Aiming for another good day today. Breakfast 4 nimble, extra light phili n protein shake Lunch Rice, tuna n tomato thing (glad I don't have any more in the fridge to eat, it's not the greatest) Tea Turkey burgers (made with breast mince, about 100 cal less than normal turkey mince) N salad...

This does sound familiar :( I too had a baaaaaad weekend lots of eatting out and icecream. The worst bit is like you say I didn't enjoy most if it. Although I must admit I enjoyed every spoonful of the icecream even the ones that were making me feel slightly sick lol. Fresh start today tho :)

Well there goes half a tub of cookie dough ice cream. I've been so bad this week. Finding it really hard to just say no. My energy levels are so low at the mo which makes me wanna eat crap n also cnt b bothered to stand in the kitchen cooking. Not been to the gym either. I think I need a...

Tea looks great. I've never had curly kale but its mean to b really good for you. What does it taste like? I imagine cabbage x

Hi Hun sorry to hear about you niece. I have crohns n it can be very unpleasant at times but there are many ways to manage it and medicine has come a long way and there are lots of options available. I found diagnosing it was the biggest hurdle but once you were over that it was just a case of...

My sister lived in Aberystwyth for a few years beautiful place. If there's no chance of healthy eatting make sure u enjoy it. All that lovely food will b a waste if u feel guilty over it :) x

10st2 this week I don't think I've ever been this close before :) I've been 100% so far this week so fingers crossed I can make it through the weekend without sabotaging it all. It's my Hen do on sat so I recon ill go over my cals on the sat but not be able to stomach anything on the Sunday n...

Day 3 with no sugar n I'm doing well :) really wanted a biscuit this afternoon but not enough to chew someone's arm off for if u kno what I mean. I also turned down a cadburys cream egg. Just feeling a bit tired whether that's sugar related I dunno but I've not had any mood swings like I...

I might try something new then :) thanks x

Any idea on the cal content of lentils? X

Yup weather has gone down hill here it's colder duller and there's a bitter wind blowing lol I'm having chicken roasted sweet potatoes plenty of veg n lashings of gravy. I've been really good today so I can have extra gravy :) if I could choose my top Winter comfort food it would defiantly be...

Do you like soup? Coz if you wizz up the veg u get rid if the texture n if you stick plenty if garlic n herbs in it get rid of the taste. My fave soup is butternut squash n chilli. What about blending some courgettes, peppers n other veg up with some garlic onion herbs n a tin of tomatoes to get...

Hi girl hope your all well. I've just come to complain about the weather!!! I'm so blooming cold!!!! It's making getting out of my cosy bed in a morning very difficult. Can't wait to get home n put my onsie n slippers on. Problem when it's cold is I want comfort food. Really want pie mash n...

Ouh the potatoes sound lovely might try some with plenty of garlic in :) With drinking so much water n having done heavy exercise I wouldn't jump on the scales for the next couple of day coz they might give you a false reading. It takes a couple of days for your body to get used to drinking a...

Hi thanks I'm doing good thanks. Been hit n miss with cal counting this past week but managed to loose a pound so maybe I didn't eat that much birthday cake after all lol. Been reading up on clean eatting n discovered a 50 day no sugar challenge which I started yesterday I'm expecting the...

Just catching up with your thread. So sorry if I missed the boat but I love the word twanny, what are hedgehog potatoes? And love the idea of fruit crisps. I haven't got any fruit in at the mo but I think I'm gunna make some sweet pot crisps as I'm struggling with low cal snacks. Well done on...

Count me in. My question is If exercise is so good for you then why does it hurt so much??? I'm at the stage where I have to grab the walls of the toilet cubicle to lower myself down coz my thighs hurt so much!!!! TMI??? :) x

After a not so angelic weekend of pizza n birthday cake I've Maintained. I'm ok with this. Coz I tried in my wedding dress yesterday n it fits great. No back fat or armpit fat splurging over the top n didn't have to lay on the floor to get it done up lol. I've been to the gym twice this week n...

It's them press ups that are the killer. I'd struggle to lift a baby after them :) 2.5 lbs congrats :) your doing really well.

Oh do share the horrors of skimmed milk I'm intrigued now x

I'm going to make sure that I kno that it's a treat n not take it for granted if you kno what I mean. Coz I could eat cake n pizza every day without batting an eye lid before without even thinking about the cals.

I use turkey mince which is less cals but never thought about bulking the actual sauce out. Ive put grated carrot in a shep pie before n I couldn't tell the difference with that. I love minimins you learn something new everyday :)

I'm making up for yesterday I'm starving today! Breakfast Porridge n honey 1 fruit ryvita Snack Slims soup 2 onion ryvita Lunch Chicken salad Shape yog That's 804 cals so far. Tea I think is gunna be chicken sweet pot mash n lots of veg which is 464 cals Totaling 1268 Cals which is low...

I've got the 30 day shred. Was shocked at how exhausted 20 min can be. She's brutal!!!

Only 1150 cals consumed today. Had bad stomach today so didn't have any breakfast n havmt really felt hungry allday. Which I suppose is good in that the fella wants pizza for tea on sat as its his birthday n were going out so it gives me a couple more cals to play with. might try for a lower...

If its the dress in the pics you put on you diary you will look fabulous :)

Finally sounds like things are tipping in your favour :)

I kno the numbers on the scales move but when I stand in front of the mirror I often think hmmm where's it come from I feel the same size as I did a stone ago. But fitting in them jeans has made me think something happened somewhere lol. It's spurred me on a little :) Ouh body con dress!!! I'd...

I have this pair of jeans in my wardrobe that I refuse to throw away. I bought them nearly 10 years ago n back then I don't kno if it was the jeans or whether I had a good bum back then but they used to be called the 'good bum jean' lol. A couple of years ago it got to the point were I...

Ouh I got engaged Xmas day2011 too :) but then we had major problems with the house we were renting so decided to put everything we had in to buying a house n the wedding got put on the back burner until we said you kno what we either do it now n have it small or we wait 3 years n have it big...

My mother in law made the girdle buster pie n it's lucky I had stretch leggins on coz jeans wouldn't have stood a chance!!!

We're going up to Scotland for our honey moon. We've done the whole thing in six months so havent really saved any money up for a glamourous honey moon. Although I was thinking about glamping lol that's sort of 5 star :) 5 star mud hut :). Although next year I'm defo going somewhere sunny. I can...

I've just had a blue riband I think this maybe harder than I initially thought :)

Right I am with on this lent business n no chocolate!!!!

I'm a size 12 n my dress is a size 12 but like u said its a wedding dress size 12 n it buttons at the back so I don't get the wiggle room you'd get with a lace up. I'd ideally like to loose a stone but I'd be happy with 8-9lbs as I've only got 8 weeks left n then 2 more till the honeymoon. Not...

Congrats on the loss :) 2lb is great!!! I'm getting married in 2 month exactly today :) I bought my dress off the rack in a sample sale n only just managed to shoe horn myself in to it lol. Then Xmas came and went and I'm too scared to try my dress on now. I started dieting 2 weeks ago and have...

Congrats amij!!! Well done. I'm down to 10st4 today :) so close yet so far!

Well done on you take away free weekend :) I'll be having a few drinkies this weekend but won't go mad coz it's fellas birthday so he'll probably need carrying for change instead of me. When does lent start? I think I might be following suit n giving up the chocolate too or maybe biscuits coz...

1 lb down for me today :) very pleased after a not so angelic weekend. Mother in law made lovely low calorie starter of ribs n main of sweet n sour chicken. All yummy. And then girdle buster pie for pudding. The clue is in the name. It was like a cross between a cheesecake n an artic roll but...

Going to the mother on laws for tea tonight she's cooking from the 'hairy dieters' cookbook. I'm really looking forward to it.

Hi hun I make a chilli that's around 300 cals and instead of having rice I have grated n steamed cauliflower or salad. I think it's the beans in it that make it really substantial n satisfying. If you post the link to you blog I'd be really interested in reading x

I've just had a small piece of birthday cake. By god it was good!!! But at just short of 300 cals I won't be having another slice.

The fruity ryvitas are also delish! I've been having them when I fancy a biscuit. They're 53 cals n twice the size of a chocolate digestive :)

Skipped the gym last night felt rough as rats. Woke up this morning n feel worse. Really fancy a macdonalds or KFC to cheer me up lol I will resist!!! Breakfast was a mixture of toast jam n ryvita. Really didn't fancy porridge at all. Not sure what's for lunch yet. Might get some cooked...

Hi all, I'd like to buy a hrm that measures cals burned but don't want to spend a fortune. Any recommendations? Thanks guys!

Your making me feel like a total wimp now haha Ive ditched the gym tonight coz I've got head ache n sore throat. That's pretty hard core all that gym your doing. You'll be seriously tones when ur done.

My fella has the brAin the size of a planet but stick a screw driver in his hand n u need to take cover!

Your beef curry looks n sound yummy! May have to try this after I've been shopping.

Na I'm cheering tonight it's out of a packet from asda. I've not had the one before so don't kno if it's spicy but the soy n ginger one was delucious. Almost as good as a real Chinese... Almost. Yea I kno what u mean. U finish ur tea n couldn't face another mouthful but there's always room for...

I t ry to exercise at least 3 times a week usually classes. I get bored at the gym. I'm a pound down this week fingers crossed for another one nxt week!

Hi hun there's already a 10st in to the 9s thread if you search below. Im 10st5 aiming to get to 9st7 eventually. Fingers crossed for us both xx

I agree great cake and pretty face :)

Hahaha sorry :) I thought it was just me and my dodgy bowels this happened to. Only seems to happen when I'm out jogging miles away from a loo tho lol. Thank you for sharing :)

Mmmm lasagne! Oh isn't keen on it so we don't have it often which is probably a good thing coz I like it with lots of garlic bread. You certainly are a trooper DD not many people could remain so strong. Very inspiring!!! :)

Well done for getting back on track! Cnt b easy with all the upheaval. We bought or house 9 months ago n still havent found the boiler manuel. Would come in really handy for these frosty mornings as we've still not worked out how to put it on timer :s

1600 cals yesterday and only 1 chocolate digestive. I'm quite pleased with that. I had to nip to tesco express last night coz I'd forgotten to get some chicken out the freezer so was going to pick some up. Anyways got to tesco and no chicken of any description except for breaded goujons. They...

20min of synergy tonight and was weazing like an old fella. Think I'm getting a cold :( Food went a bit down hill afterwork was starving so went to asda which was followed by a ryvita binge. 6 fruit ryvitas!!!! Note to self replace chocolate digestives with more filling foods so you don't...

How does lamb compare to chicken on the calorie scale. I always imagine lamb to be quite high coz most cuts are quite fatty arnt they.

Keep up the good work Hun! Im on 1700 cals too. It sounds like a lot but you make one mistake n woops you over your limit. I love body pump but the only class I can get to now I've started college in the evenings is first thing Sunday morning n most Sundays I just cnt face it lol.

Haha love it!!! Thank you :) x

Ouh roast dinner! My mother in law gave me a halogen oven n it can cook a chicken in under an hour :) defiantly going to have to have a roast this week now you've mentioned it. My mouth is watering at the thought x

Woohoo I lost a pound!!! Very happy with that. There's 9 and half weeks til my wedding so if I can loose a pound a week I will be very happy. Breakfast was vanilla stars 240 2 ryvitas 86 Protein shake 117 Bit of a mish mash but I was really hungry but really didn't want porridge so dry...

Can you get body combat on DVD? I do the classes and love them. I did the insanity fit test and that killed me I've been to scared to do the workouts :s

Oh what a nightmare with the kitchen! Will b worth it in the end when ur cooking your low cal meals on a spanking new job :) Hope you don't mind me subscribing x

Combat is really fun. N you don't have to fight anyone. It's a bit like aerobics but instead of doing the grapevine you punch n kick. There's lots of jumping up n down too. It's brilliant cardio but also great for toning every bit of your body. Bits of me ache that I didn't even realise I was...

Aslong as it doesnt happen every day n you don't eat 10 chicken burgers then I don't see the problem. You have to live a little. I wish my fella would cook me something once in a whole. But that man could burn a ham sandwich so it's best he sticks to the washing up. Well done on resisting the...

Today I did an hour of body combat and 20 min of synergy 360. I am aching head to foot. I had a relaxed day on the food front today. Breakfast 2 slices of 50/50 with jam Lunch chicken salad sandwich with light sweet chilli mayo n crisps Tea chicken kebab with salad n sauce n a handful of...

Today I did an hour of body combat and

Hiii I'm here to subscribe if you don't mind. Sounds like life is quite stressful at the mo. random fact but I have crohns decease which is a chronic bowel disorder which is often flaired up by stress. I find that when things start getting on top of me Meditation really helps. Not in a OMMMM...

Today in have stuck to 1700 however I don't think 4 chocolate digestives 2 cream crunches and 2 slices of cheese garlic baguette counts as clean calories. Breakfast porridge honey and protein shake Lunch ww chicken and mushroom pie. Dinner turkey chilli and salad. My usual chilli is around...

My aim is slow n steady. Im doing 1700 so that it comes of in half pounds and that way hopefully I will have learnt how to eat right and not binge. I think I'd like to be 9st7 I think anything less I wouldn't be able to maintain.

Yey a buddy :) I got down to 10st1 in October but then went to Florida and ate like an american. My god I kno people say it all the time but it's no bloody wonder they're all fat! The food is to die for. Especially the steaks and their mash potato I think they make it half potato half butter...

Just had my tea really enjoyed it! I made a horseradish dressing made with 1 tbsp of asda extra light mayo, 1 tsp horse radish, a bit of hot water and salt n pepper. MFP said it was 27 cals which is ok by me :) Just a quick question can I post pics from my iPhone?

Hi Hun Congrats on your loss! I have a 7 year old daughter so I kno what u mean about the exercising. They want nothing to do with you all day n the moment you put the DVD in its mum will you do this mum will you do that muuuuuuum!!!! Haha. Sounds like you've got in to the swing of things :)...
